How the Aged Banker Was Shot
Down From Behind.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Stephen W. Raw
son, a well-known banker of this city
and connectedwith the Union Trustcom-
pany, was fatally shot at noon to-day,
near the Third Presbyterian church,
corner of Ashland and Ogden avenues,
by his step-son, Ralph w. Slaymaker.
The shooting occaSiOned great excite
ment, as it occurred as the wOrShiperS
at the church were proceeding home
ward. Mr.. RawSon, who had attended
services at the church, emerged from
the south entrance as the great organ
was still laundering its finale, and
started diagonally across Ogden avenue
on his way to his residence at 496 West
Monroe street. Slaymaker, who had
been lettering in the vicinity of the
church for nearly an hour, when he saw
RawSon come forth
RAN ALONG THE AVENUE
until he was within eight feet of the
banker. Then he drew large nickle-
plated revolver from one of the pockets
of his overcoat, and graSping the handle
of the weapon with both hands, fired
into the back of the helpless man, who
fell forward upon his hands and knees.
Before he struck the earth another bull
let was lodged in his body. The young
assassin did not advance as he fired but
stood pale and trembling in the gutter.
When his aged victim fell, Slaymaker
turned his revolver down upon the
drostrate body and fired three times in
succession. For moment the throng
of people going from church was par
alyZed by the spectacle. Then a panic
seized the women and children, who
FLED IN WILD DISORDER.
Some re-entered the church to seek
place of safety, while others ran scream
ing down the avenue. Slaymaker did
not move until he had empted the five
cartridges of his revolver. Then he
started across the avenue with the
weapon still in his hand. A man ieaped
out of the crowd and seized the aSsas-
S.n, who was shortly afterwards turned
over to the police. While he was being
led through the crowd there were cries
of Hang him. This seemed to un-
nerve him, for he shook violently.
''Take me to Jail as quickly as possible"
he said to the officer. 81 have done MY
business, now you do yours" Mean-
time the wounded banker had risen to
his feet unaSsisted, but he could not
stand, and was compelled to lie down
on the grass plot in front of the church.
AS soon as possible carriage was OBJ
tanned, and he was removed to his resi-
dence and received surgical attendance.
1t was found that
ALL FIVE BULLETS
had taken effect. -Four of them were
removed, but the fifth, which pierced
the pelvic bone, it was deemed best not
to probe for, owing to the low vitality of
the sufferer. 1t is not believed tonight
that Mr.. Rawson can recover. 1t is
stated that the shooting comes from do
mestic troubles. Mr. Rawson recently
applied for a divorce from his wife,
America l.. Lee, who had previously
been married twice. The stepson,
Ralph W. Slaymaker, or William R.
Lee, as he was sometimes called, took
his mothers part and was greatly indig-
nant at certain charges made by Mr..
Rawson against her. This indignation
it is thought inspired him to do the
cowardly and bloody act.
